   James, Hi, great to see you here, once again!
   Repubs. told us to “Get over it”, when K, Harris and Jeb did their little act in FL for W. in 2000, then, Kenny Boy Blackwell in OH, whirled the magic buttons for W. again in ’04. So….Here is hoping that the polls will be 4 or more points for O. b/cause repubs. will steal the election in ’12, if there is only a two point difference b/tween the two. Block the Vote, throw valid voters off, jimmy the machines, lie steal, whatever it takes. Look at the company that was messing around in the key states that repubs. had to fire last week. Oh, I see, caught stealing, right? I’m sure repubs will find another shifty company to register repub. voters and throw away Dem registration forms. It is just the way this operate and, I will add, are quite good at it too! Let’s see who is the best at getting out the vote.

   James , don’t be a weenie .

   FactCheck :

   I’s a false claim that 8 million jobs were lost during the Bush administration. To the contrary, there was a net gain of 1 million jobs under President George W. Bush

   FactCheck :

   If one looks at all jobs (including government jobs) over the entirety of Obama’s time in office — as the Obama campaign does when it looks at Romney’s record as governor — there has been a net loss of jobs.

   The country had great news today!! Not because of conspiracies, rather because we are America. President Obama killed the GOP’s main talking point. YES!! With a record number of filibusters in the Senate and the most useless GOP controlled House in history, President Obama and his economic polices have brought the unemployment rate below 8%, created over 5million jobs. These measurements have been used for decades, to CRY foul now about the agencies now that report these numbers is just ridiculous and pure desperation.(trust me I love hearing it the conspiracy theories)

   I love good news for America, too bad lately the radical right Republicans prefers the economic traitors they elected and encourage our global enemies by divisive foreign policy views just for political gain.

   Unemployment is at about 14% for black people, 11.5% among Hispanics, Obama throw black people food stamp and welfare. And Hispanics fake immigration power grab. These two groups both got bones an d no meat and they are quite satisfied. Hispanics took the bait. It worked

   @James don’t let these GOP righties discourage you from commenting. They think strength in numbers and bullying is the way to silence opposition. Geezz Louiezz! consider they get ALL their “facts” from Fox Drudge Mediate NewsBusters and their prophet Rush Limbaugh(the leader of their party). So with that said, it’s not worth going into too much dialog because they only react along side of what’s happening on Fox News. So if Fox says 7.8% unemployment is bad, then there’s no point, nothing gets into the bubble.

   Example: Big Bird is bad!!!!!!and needs to be fired!!!!!!!! look at all the attention the righty has given to Big Bird since Willard mentioned BB at the debate.

    Other than your posting more false numbers Sharon about black people over and over again regarding food stamps unemployment etc. BTW (there are more white people getting food stamps than black people) perhaps you post some links that back up your claims. Good luck!

    @Jeff
    It’s too bad that millions of people have stopped looking for a job and our out of the workforce, gives the an illusion of lowering unemployment. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 456,000 people left the workforce in September alone, your 7.8% figure has very little depth. http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm

    Unemployment at 7.8% Obama was thrown a lifeline by these so call jobs people. Talk to the millions of people who are still looking for work, under employed are working part time. Talk to the people who lost their homes and the fake jobs number does nothing to help. Talk to those of us who are working but find it hard to survive . High gas prices, food, electricity, insurance, taxes, you name it. Give me a break

    Also, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are 6.5 million people in the workforce now, 456,000 people left the workforce in September alone, simple math would show this means that the amount of people in the workforce decreased by around 7% in just September, more than enough to account for the apparent drop in unemployment from 8.1% in August to 7.8% in September, not good for Obama.

    Jeff. Did not say how many black versus white people are on food stamp. Talking from where I am sitting , a lot of black people I know find it more acceptable to be on food stamp, more so since Obama took office. They prefer to be on government assistance get free Obama phone and free housing rather than working . Don’t argue with what I live every day. By the way I work many jobs to support my family. Hate to take care of every body and their children. Have 3 biological children and adopt 2 . Taking care of them without government assistant.
